      How Real Madrid could line up with Mbappe next season
      The Frenchman is heading into the final six months of his deal with Paris Saint-Germain and will be available as a free agent in the summer.
      As of January 1 he will be free to negotiate with foreign clubs ahead of a future move away from the French capital.
      And The Athletic have reported that Real Madrid are gearing up to try to convince the 25-year-old to choose the Bernabeu as his new home.
      It comes after the LaLiga outfit pushed to make a deal with Mbappe in the summer of 2022 only for the superstar to agree fresh terms with PSG instead.

      It is reported that a number of bigwigs at Real were left feeling betrayed by the France international after he led them to believe he was keen on making the move to Spain.
      But despite the fracture in the relationship there is still understood to be interest from both parties and talks will continue in January.
      However, it might not be easy for Madrid to get a deal over the line with concerns over upsetting the dressing room dynamic in the Spanish capital.
      Mbappe is reportedly expecting a salary that would be more than double what the top earners at Real Madrid currently make – which could prove difficult with the club already trying to keep their wage bill under control.

      Erik ten Hag has preferred the likes of Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and even veteran Jonny Evans, which has limited Varane to just 521 minutes of Premier League action.
      Real Madrid were believed to be lining up a swoop to bring him back to the Bernabeu.
      The French defender, 30, spent ten years there from 2011 to 2021 and won 18 trophies – including four Champions Leagues – before joining United for £34m on a four-year deal.

      And he played the full game yesterday as the Red Devils came from 2-0 down at half-time to beat Aston Villa 3-2 with a brilliant second half performance.
      His side fell behind to a never-seen-before free-kick tactic that left the goalkeeper and whole defence bamboozled.
      It got even worse as Leander Dendoncker doubled the visitors’ lead.
      However, a stirring second half performance saw them bounce back to earn a crucial victory.
      Alejandro Garnacho grabbed a double while Rasmus Hojlund’s first Premier League goal sealed the points late on. More

      And the Emirates chief has plenty of his own intel in the market Xavier will be working in thanks to his Brazilian connections.

      The 20-year-old has enjoyed a simply stunning start to life in Spain with his new adoring followers already celebrating 16 goals and five assists in his first 19 appearances.
      But if one Bellingham superstar wasn’t enough for Carlo Ancelotti, it is understood he has started making preparations to sign a second – including sending scouts to watch the teenager in action.
      Like Jude, Jobe came through the youth academy at hometown club Birmingham City.
      But the 18-year-old left St Andrew’s in the summer to join Sunderland.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      The England youth international has already racked up four goals for the Championship side as they look to win promotion back into the Premier League.
      However, according to Sport in Spain, Real Madrid are considering a transfer swoop.
      It is said they want to sign the younger Bellingham sibling before he gets snapped up by a big Premier League side, recognising it will be harder and more expensive to lure him to the Bernabeu from a top English team.
      Jobe is similar in style to his award-winning older brother – also playing in central midfield and able to get forward to create goals.
      Most read in Football
      Some insist he is more versatile than Jude and could become an even better player than the 2023 Golden Boy.
      Jobe himself said: “I know how to find space in the area.
      “With the skills I have I can play in different positions and I can learn more things, it is something that will benefit me in my career.”
      Off the pitch, Jude has been praised for his maturity and humble approach to the media and a very public life in the limelight.
      And Jobe seems to have benefited from the same grounding growing up with parents Denise and Mark.
      Dad and agent Mark met with Real Madrid to negotiate the huge summer transfer from Dortmund.
      And now it is reported that he is living with son Jobe in Sunderland while mum Denise is with Jude in Madrid.
      So any deal to take Jobe across to Spain as well would not only be yet another huge moment for the family – but also a chance for them to be reunited once more.
